27 [21] First job: Night club.txt (2/2)

'Especially the Bee Rabbit steak, it's amazing. You've done a great job of cooking meat that is difficult to prepare and can be poisonous if you mess up. The seasoning is not too thick, not too thin, and it's perfectly balanced without killing the subtle honey flavor that is characteristic of the Bee Rabbit. It's a true chef's touch.

I don't know as much about cooking as Meldina, but I think your father makes a good meal.

Hehe, I'm glad to hear you say that. I love your cooking, too.

Lulu, who looks happy as if she was praised, is happy with her ears twitching and her tail huffing and puffing.

'Lulu~, the second table's food is ready, bring it over~'

Oh, yes! Well then, gentlemen, take your time.

When Lulu was called from the kitchen, she went back to serving the food hurriedly.

The three of them were chatting with each other while tasting the food that was served.

'And then? Have you decided what you're going to do next?

I'm not particularly concerned about it, but I do want to prioritize taking orders for defeat-type requests as much as possible. I'd like to give Kounaria a little more combat experience.

'Mugu mugu. Ofiama? (Master?)

Come on, Coona, don't talk with your mouth full.

Meldina cautions Cunaria, who tilts her head as she chews on the fresh vegetables that are in season right now.

'This is the time of year when Cunaria grows the most. She continues to train every day, but training is just that, training. There's nothing better than getting some real-world experience.''

''You say that, but with the current Coonaria, the only thing that can be used as a practice partner is the demons that appear in the defeat-type requests that can be ordered with E rank. Wouldn't it be better to do a lot of requests that could be accomplished quickly and try to move up the ranks?

'That's true... Meldina, let me know if you have a request that sounds good. Coonaria will be my training partner for a while longer. I'm going to mix in the killings as if it were a real battle, so keep that in mind.

Nkun... Huh! I understand!

Coonaria responds cheerfully with dressing on her mouth.

The sight of Meldina wiping Coonaria's mouth while she is dumbfounded makes me smile.

The three of them continue to eat while chatting with each other afterwards.

Their first job was a great success.
